#notkit

there weren’t too many times where elaine would let her emotions show. not in public at least. just not in front of anyone. she kept everything locked deep within her and she thought she’d thrown away the key but every now and then it seeps through. today seemed to be one of those days and to anyone who only knew her in passing or, in this case, to any employees of violet’s who preferred not to get to know her (thankfully) she looked like she did every day. the only thing she feared was kit catching her and calling her out on it. she didn’t even check if he was working today when she came in earlier. el just wanted to show up, do as much as she could in the very back, practically hidden from everyone, and go home. but luck wasn’t on her side as she walked out to go on her lunch break and came face to face with him. instantly trying her hardest to seem like the normal, every day angsty el. “oh -- hey. didn’t know you were in today. where’ve you been hidin’, mate?” ironic how she questioned him but she remained deadpan, trying to shuffle past him as nonchalantly as she possibly could.
